Battle Born Tree Service gives the estimate free. Wadsworth is a small community of about 700 people at the big bend of the Truckee River, just north of Fernley. About 43% of its homes were built before 1980 and about 29% are manufactured homes (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024; a small sample, so the figures are approximate). ## At a glance - About 65 minutes from our yard, near the edge of our stump-grinding area - About 43% of homes built before 1980 - Estimate started from your photos and measurements - Stumps and other tree work combined into one visit ## How does a stump job work this far out? In three steps. First, you call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) or send a request with photos. The phone is answered seven days a week and messages are returned within 8 hours. Second, the arborist reviews what you sent and asks about anything that is unclear: size, access, what is nearby. Third, the work is planned so that the right machine makes the trip once. We build stump-grinding pages only for towns within about 70 minutes of the yard. Wadsworth is inside that line, and close to it. - Measure across each stump at ground level and note the height - Photograph each stump up close and from the direction a machine would come - List what is within 10 feet: fences, buildings, pipes, ditches - Say what else needs doing, such as trimming or a removal, so it is quoted together ## Older lots near a river With more than four in ten Wadsworth homes predating 1980, many yard trees have had decades to grow. Big old trees leave big stumps with roots that travel. On ground near the river, soil can be softer and wetter than the desert around it, which affects where a heavy machine can sit. Tell us if the stump is close to the river bank or an irrigation ditch. ## Is the stump still alive? It might be. Several of the trees common along Nevada waterways and in old yards, including cottonwoods, willows, poplars and Siberian elms, sprout from the stump and roots after cutting. If green shoots are coming up around yours, it is regrowing, and it will keep doing so. Stump grinding removes the stump from the ground and helps prevent new foliage from growing from the roots. Our guides to [cottonwoods](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/cottonwoods-keep-prune-or-remove/) and [Siberian elms](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/siberian-elms-old-nevada-lots/) describe the habit. ## Dry air, slow decay Away from the river, this is some of the driest ground we work on. The NOAA gauge at Fernley 2.6 WNW, 3 miles from Wadsworth, averages about 7.6 inches of precipitation a year, and the Wadsworth 4 N station has a mean annual temperature of 52.5 degrees (1991-2020 normals). A dead stump in dry soil lasts for many years. ## Who has a say over the land? Check before you book. Land status around Wadsworth varies from parcel to parcel, and work near the river or a ditch may involve an agency or a ditch company. We do not know the rules for your parcel and will not guess. Ask whoever governs your land, and tell us what they say. The utilities' buried lines are marked through an 811 request before any grinding. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, Wadsworth CDP](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Fernley 2.6 WNW gauge and Wadsworth 4 N station](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [Common Ground Alliance: Call 811, how 811 works](https://call811.com/) (read October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 65 min 48.0 miles - **Elevation:** 4,073 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7a 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 43% median year built 1983 Sources: drive time from our yard at 6301 US Highway 50 East, free-flow, OSRM / Census Geocoder; elevation, USGS 3DEP; hardiness zone, USDA 2023 map; housing figures, U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 five-year estimates; wildfire risk, USDA Forest Service Wildfire Risk to Communities (April 2026 data).
